#XPRO 1 VS X100T HOW TO#
I was a bit concerned, as my only experience with a rangefinder prior to the M had been a quick trip to a local Leica store where the rep seemed more interested in taking pictures himself with the M than in showing me how to do it. Second, but very close to image quality is a characteristic that cannot by any means be underrated on an M camera is the rangefinder experience. Additionally, as the Leica lenses all have a clearly marked distance scale and aperture, the Leica M240 is FAST (more about speed later). For example, I have a Leica lens that I find quite pleasing for portraits, as I like the brush-stroke nature of it's out-of-focus (bokeh) rendering at wide apertures. Yes, it gets the job done, but it just seems to lack the character, or unique lens-drawing characteristics, of Leica glass. I have found the Fuji glass a bit clinical in feel. For character especially, Leica glass is a clear triumph. There is just no comparison, in my humble opinion.Ĭomparing Leica to Fuji glass, again, just no comparison. Colors, tones, resolution - the M240 reigns supreme. Even though I can use Leica glass on the X-Pro1 with an adapter, the results produced on an M240 are quite remarkable. What appeals to me as a photographer may be entirely different to you, and so I provide a concise explanation as to why I have found the M240 so attractive as compared to the X100s and X-Pro1 (both fine cameras also, by the way).įirst and foremost and last also, it is the image quality. When I'm out and about, I have the M240 and the X100s close at hand, but always it s the M240 I reach for. Since I got the Leica M240, I have not used either the X100s or the X-Pro1, even though I have them ready and available for use. So, I took the plunge, like you are currently considering, with the very same cameras you are considering, and I must say, it has been well worth it. With Leica lenses, one may rely upon it's hybrid finder and focus-peaking.

Like the X100s, a huge advantage of the X-Pro1 is it's built-in hybrid finder. The X-Pro1 is larger than the X100s, has a louder shutter, does not have a built-in flash or ND filter, but takes interchangeable lenses and, with an adapter, can be used to mount Leica glass.

But I also got some Fujifillm glass as well, so I am in a position not only to offer comment on the two bodies but also on the glass from each manufacturer. Unabashedly, I got the X-Pro1 so I could, for the first time, experience Leica glass without having to commit to the expense of a Leica body. It is quiet, almost completely silent, is small and so relatively nonobtrusive and can be carried on a small belt pouch much like my Leica X1 could, has good IQ, is effective in low light, has reasonable autofocus, has a built-in hybrid finder (window/digital) which can change from window to digital on-the-fly, has built-in flash and a built-in ND filter and is an all-around killer setup with a very small footprint. First, the Fujifilm X100s (the predecessor to the X100t) is quite the little gem, and I'm not going to get rid of it anytime soon. With those preliminaries covered, on to the assessment.

As I purchased the body from B&H, I had a full 30 days to return the camera, and so when I say I found the M240 to my liking, I say it because I mean it, not because I'm trying to justify to myself the cash outlay required to acquire the camera. However, after a couple of months' of use, I can say, without qualification, that I have been very satisfied with the Leica M240. My first experience with a rangefinder, I was quite concerned about the financial outlay required for the M. Last year, I obtained a brand new shiny M240 and also some additional vintage Leica glass. For me, at least, Leica has been a switch well worth taking and a journey finally begun.īACKGROUND - I have the Fujifilm X100s and the X-Pro1, with which I shoot Leica glass (with adapter) and also Fujifilm glass.

I can only hope that my own experience, detailed below, might be of some use to those also considering a switch and desiring more information before taking the plunge.įor those of similar background or interest, please feel free to add your own comments or experiences. When I was considering the switch, I used this forum for much of my research, and I'm very grateful to the various forum members for their help during my journey. What follows is my response to a fellow in the an FB Leica group who was also considering a switch and was asking for anecdotal information. If you don't want to do all the reading, the short answer is Yes, it's well worth the switch, because of image quality, the rangefinder experience, speed, simplicity and connection to the subject.
